Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) visited his newfound party last night, speaking at a Philadelphia Democratic Committee fundraiser — and commenting on the big change he’s made in recent weeks.
A reporter asked Specter how Democratic gatherings differ from Republican ones. His answer: “There are a lot more people here than when Republicans get together.”
That fact alone seems to be a self-perpetuating cycle — after all, it was the decrease in moderate registered Republican voters in Pennsylvania that helped spur Arlen Specter to switch parties in the first place.
Specter also remarked of his transition: “There are a few bumps in the road. But I’ve got good shock absorption.”
